FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Challenge events are a great way to support the charity - getting fit and achieving a goal while helping First Days support local children really does mean that everyone is a winner.
The events below are ones that we have guaranteed places available for. If you already have your own place at one of these events, or any other, you can still be part of #teamFD.
Just drop an email to fundraising@firstdays.net for more information on how you can get involved.

Snowdon at Night
Trekking Mt Snowdon (1,085m) during the daytime forms a great challenge, but by using torches to light your way and having the moon as your backdrop, summiting at night brings another sense of achievement as well as raising vital funds for First Days.

Barnes Fitness Santa Dash
After the rather unusual Virtual Santa Dash in 2020, Barnes Fitness are very excited to be back IN REAL LIFE at Dinton Pastures Country Park for the fifth year. Once again they are supporting First Days Children's Charity - £2 of every entry donated direct to us. This money will have a direct impact on local children, by providing a nice warm bed to sleep in this winter. Every £100 raised will buy a complete bed for a child; frame, mattress, duvet & two pillows and linen.
- 2 distances to choose from; 2km or 5km
- Option to run the event virtually - any distance, anywhere!
